Updated pics of the "F" Litter mice (21 days old)









Mum of litter


Like mother like daughter (and my fav outta the litter)


Mum again, taking care of youngin's is HARD work *L*

How long are mice pregnant?

19-20 days they're preggers for.....i should have another (Smudge) drop her litter in around 7 days :D

How do you know they are preggers?

That's easy if the rabit dies.

Those aren't mice. They're tribbles. :yikes:

When placed with a male the female squeaks like mad everytime he comes near her *L*. As soon as you no longer hear that or notice them sleeping comfortable with each other, ya know the deed has been done. Rarely if they get to the comfy stage has the mating not been successful, as the male will generally keep trying *L*

As for the actual 'knowing' the mating was successful. The female shows very little signs until around the last week (though some do start to get pudgy earlier, if they are pregnant you will know for sure in the last week, they just keep getting bigger until they pop (literally *L*)

She wasn't pregnant. It turned out she had some sort of growth up by her chest/neck. She died yesterday.

A tumor more than likely, unfortunately something quite common...I've lost 3 myself to tumors.

When I saw this pic, the first thing I wondered was if it was a pic taken on the ark. :p

OMG...ya made me snort my coffee out me nose!

Time for some more pics :)
